Must be so nice being a child born today, so safe!
Very safe indeed /s
Btw, apparantly, the second children born during the one child policy (in PRC) will not receive legal documents unless the fine (which was like ¥10,000-¥25,000 which was a lot btw) gets paid, so yea... imagine having zero documents in your own country, no subway, no long distance trains, cant even get a phone number (cuz everything needs ID), because of some stupid government enforced birth control bs (also its not like I chose to be born, wtf is this lashing out at the kids for lmao)
So you tell the people to give birth to a lot of children, then oopsie, need to backtrack, one child policy, then now that one child is supporting their parents and their 4 grandparent's entire retirement plan.
And I'm pretty sure the only reason why I was born was because my mother wanted to secure her retirement plan (because in case my older brother is a "failure" somehow).
So yea, I was born because... I'm part of my parent's idea of a retirement plan. Wonderful.
depression intensifies
Now stop complaining and go to work 🎉
